Actress Lehar Khan was recently featured in Shah Rukh Khan’s mega-blockbuster film Jawan. She played the role of Kalki, the daughter of a farmer who wanted to avenge her father’s death and joined Shah Rukh’s crew to achieve this purpose. In a recent interview, the actress shared that her heart hasn’t stopped pounding from excitement ever since the film was released. She also shared what it was like to work with Shah Rukh Khan.
Talking to The Indian Express, she said, “I am so happy that people are not just talking about the dance, entertainment and action but also agreeing to what we wanted to say through Jawan… Through my work, I could give the world the reality of what these families go through. Honestly, it did take a toll on me to realize how a small amount of a few thousand pushes these farmers to take their lives. It brought anger which I utilized in my performance. I am so glad that people are now talking about it, and I hope that can help us bring some relief for them.”
Talking about Shah Rukh, Lehar said, “At heart, he is such a beautiful person. Whenever he is talking, there’s so much humility. He is also so caring, and kind and assures that everyone around him is comfortable and happy. Jawan was a hectic film for him as he played a double role and had to wear prosthetics, yet amid all the messy, chaotic environment, he was all out taking care of his girls, as he calls the six of us. He also has the warmest hugs to give. I think one is a fan of him as an actor and when they meet him, they become a fan of him as a person.”
Directed by ace filmmaker Atlee, Jawan was released in theatres on Thursday amid much anticipation. The blockbuster film has already earned more than Rs. 520 crores nett worldwide. Jawan also features stellar performances by Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Deepika Padukone among others.
